Once you have emotions invested in someone, it is easier to go to extremes, because they mean something to you.
Been there, hated it, bought postcards.
@chyna We (as in my peer mediation class) were discussing the dynamics of relationships. The counselor told us how it’s always love, struggle, love, hate, struggle, love etc.
I don’t want to get married.
Yes. They are both very strong emotions that allow the person to have a significant place in your life. A person who important to you can bring out one or both of them easier than you might think.
@The_Compassionate_Heretic I still don’t want to get married. I’ll love.. but I wont get married. I’ll love and stay in the same house but I will not get into a formal legal arrangement. I also wont stay with someone longer than 5 years. Haha.
I think in order to hate something you have to care about it so much that in the right circumstance, you would actually love it instead. Not only do I believe that you can love and hate something at the same time, I think it’s impossible to hate without love. The opposite of both of these is not one another, it’s indifference.
I laughed when I read @chyna ‘s first response. I often love/hate him, like when I find his dirty clothes on top of the hamper and not in it, or empty milk bottles in the fridge??? And I am sure he has a list of things I do as well.
Yep if you have siblings you’d know. Or family in general, especially mine though currently there’s more hate than love. I refuse to talk to one of my family members and I have a whole side of my family that won’t talk to me not because I did anything wrong I was five or six, but it’s all because of a family fued. Trust me when I say I know what I’m talking about it’s more than possible it’s an everyday occurence.
